Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast-Chapter 368: Blood River Domain, Global Shock (II)

The Blood Sea Domain covered two hundred meters, with red light flashing. Blood pythons, each dozens of meters long, roared and madly pounced toward Li Daoyi, who had transformed into lightning.

In an instant, the hill exploded, lightning flashed, and the blood pythons roared, creating a battle as intense as the one in the city.

Roar!

At the moment Akunus appeared, Kleide let out an angry roar, crashing through the air toward Chen Chu.

"Seeking death." With Akunus' appearance, Chen Chu was no longer interested in Kleide, and exploded with a terrifying, fierce intent that shook the heavens.

A thirty-meter-tall phantom with three faces and six arms, wearing black and red scaled armor, appeared behind Chen Chu, stunning everyone still watching. Two arms held halberds, while the other four formed seals, supporting four rotating light wheels behind it.

The air trembled around the phantom, and transcendent energy gathered to form an aura, appearing sacred and majestic, like a Wisdom King descending from the heavens.

"What is that?"

"A True Martial Phantom—no, this phantom gathers transcendent energy automatically, but it's not condensed enough. It's a runic phantom."

"I didn't expect Chu Batian to have already half-stepped into the Seventh Heavenly Realm."

"A monster."

"And the battle on the hill!"

"Everything's in chaos."

All of this happened in a blink of an eye. Amid the upheaval, both the cultivators watching from various directions and the audience watching the live broadcast were stunned.

"Take this, Eight Desolations Purgatory!"

Boom!

As the battle phantom enhanced Chen Chu, his body shone with golden light, and his aura surged. Three golden halberds, each over twenty meters long, surrounded Kleide.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The three halberds exploded like intercontinental missiles, creating devastating explosions. Under the golden shockwave, houses collapsed, roads shattered, and a typhoon-like blast swept up dust, spreading hundreds of meters.

Such a formidable strike left everyone in shock. Even Qingqiu Mingyue and Bai Yunfeng, who had already rushed down the hill, were momentarily stunned.

At that moment, Xiaowei, the sound engineer's assistant being carried by the fox tail, suddenly had a change in her gaze as she threw down a disc engraved with a Blood River pattern.

Boom!

With Xiaowei as the center, the Blood River Domain exploded, and endless red light erupted, engulfing everything and swallowing everyone in an instant.

This sudden change left many stunned. Hasn't Akunus already appeared?

"Seeking death."

In the blood-red world, Li Long was the first to react. His powerful Fourth Heavenly Realm true power exploded, and he struck Xiaowei as the white fox released her.

Boom!

Under Li Long's powerful and domineering palm, Xiaowei's body instantly exploded, flesh and blood splattering everywhere. The scene turned the surrounding employees pale, with some even vomiting.

"An ordinary person?"

Li Long, Qingqiu Mingyue, Xu Xiaoqi, and others were all taken aback.

Yan Ruoyi glanced at the scattered remains and said gravely, "This is Akunus’s external spirit clone. It’s similar to a Blood Seed, but it deeply contaminates the soul. It lies dormant within the infected body, acting like a predetermined program.

"It didn’t emit any dangerous aura because she remained herself on the surface, so she appeared normal until that programming was activated. Even Brother Chu's perception didn’t detect anything, because she was too weak to pose any noticeable danger."

As Yan Ruoyi and others looked serious, the Blood River Domain fully expanded, covering half the abandoned city and nearby hills. Inside, everything was dyed dark red, resembling the apocalypse.

From a high altitude, the domain appeared like a red dome covering a ten-kilometer area, transparent and otherworldly. In this dark-red world, the ground constantly cracked, and thick blood exuding a strong aura oozed from the rifts.

Such a horrifying scene left the personnel trembling, especially the bald sound engineer, whose face had turned pale with fear.

He never imagined that his seemingly innocuous assistant would unleash such a horrible thing, nor did he expect her to get blown apart by Li Long’s powerful strike.

Swoosh!

The three-meter-long white fox’s powerful aura exploded, transforming it into a mutated beast over twenty meters long, nearly forty meters with its tails. The strong aura waves separated Yan Ruoyi, Qingqiu Mingyue, Bai Yunfeng, and Xu Xiaoqi from the others.

The assistant’s sudden change made them wary of the ordinary people around them, unsure if there were other such spirit clones among them.

By that point, the ground in the distance had become a blood river. Waves roared, and countless sinister figures struggled and wailed like vengeful spirits.

Seeing Yan Ruoyi and the others alive, the red blood shadows in the river boiled, frantically crawling out.

Shriek!

The shadows resembled real people, dripping blood and emitting a foul stench. They screamed and howled, their red faces twisted as they charged at the group.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Six glowing white fox tails swept out, instantly blowing apart the blood demons with Fourth and Fifth Heavenly Realm auras and clearing the area.

Roar!

The white fox suddenly let out a fierce roar, and the powerful sound waves shattered the ground ahead, breaking apart some blood shadows that had merged into the earth.

As a peak level 6 king-level mutated beast, the six-tailed white fox was extremely powerful, capable of obliterating cultivators of the same level with a single blow. These blood demons had no chance.

However, just as it finished them off, hundreds more surged from the river. Even more came from the river behind them, densely packed as they frantically rushed at Yan Ruoyi and the others.

Outside the blood-red, transparent world, the cultivators observing from outside the city were shocked and terrified, especially by the endless blood demons.

"Quick, focus two cameras over there. Big news, Kleide’s challenge to Chu Batian was a conspiracy. The demon cult, which previously attacked Yan Ruoyi, has struck again.

"This time, they used Kleide to lure away Chu Batian and sent another demon cult expert to distract Li Daoyi, leaving Yan Ruoyi defenseless."

The reporters went wild. One even risked his life to rush to the edge of the Blood River Domain, snapping photos furiously.

Viewers worldwide watching the battle were stunned, never expecting such twists. These changes had happened in the blink of an eye, and the dust from Chen Chu’s devastating strike was just beginning to settle.

In the distance, the ground was shattered, forming a crater over forty meters in diameter. Buildings within a hundred-meter radius had collapsed from the explosive shockwave, clearing an open space.

Kleide had reverted to human form, and now lay in the crater’s center with tattered clothes and an almost completely shattered body, barely clinging to life.

This was with Chen Chu holding back; otherwise, the full power of the Eight Desolations Purgatory would have obliterated him instantly.

With a cold glance at Kleide, Chen Chu’s figure flickered, and he appeared on the rooftop of a broken high-rise a hundred meters away, gazing at the distant Blood River.

He and Yan Ruoyi had long suspected that there were issues within the company; given that Akunus couldn’t launch a direct attack, he had to use other means to approach Yan Ruoyi, and once he understood how Chen Chu’s perception worked, it was easy for a king-level entity like him to completely conceal any sense of danger.

They knew that it was likely for him to try something like this, which was the reason why they allowed the ordinary employees to follow them in the first place. However, he didn’t think that the sound engineer’s assistant would be the problem.

At that moment, a voice came through Chen Chu’s earpiece from the base.

“Chu Batian, that river is the Blood River Domain Akunus refined at his peak at the Ninth Heavenly Realm. He was severely injured by Heavenly King Zhenwu before completing it, which forced him to flee to the mythical world and caused that domain to fall into the void.

“It seems he managed to resummon this domain. Judging by its coverage, its grade has fallen, but its special properties remain. It’s filled with blood demons formed from the fragmented souls of those Akunus killed, each possessing a tenth of their original strength.

“They’re bound to the river, so as long as the river exists, the blood demons are undying. Transcendent energy is also depleted within the domain, which makes it difficult to replenish any true power used.

“We must find a way to break the domain externally and rescue Yan Ruoyi and the others quickly. That six-tailed white fox won’t last long against the swarm of blood demons.

“But Akunus’s true form hasn’t appeared yet. The person fighting Li Daoyi only has a divine soul with spiritual force, and lacks the essence.

“Akunus’ Blood God Codex allows him to separate parts of his soul essence, making him harder to deal with than other demon lords like Kaotoros. If we don’t locate his soul essence, General Rake cannot appear. If we alert him and he escapes, he might abandon the dragon.”

While Akunus desired the dragon immensely, he would abandon it if faced with the risk of his soul essence being sealed and his true form being captured. Without the dragon, his strength would drop, but losing part of his soul essence to human sealing would force him into hiding forever.

The Purgatory Clan would not tolerate a useless member; they would likely even use him to refine demonic weapons. Therefore, Akunus remained cautious, not revealing his true form even in this situation.

Chen Chu glanced at the battlefield where lightning continued to explode and said gravely, “To hold back even now, how cautious. But if the blood river doesn’t dry up, the demons remain?”

Looking at the blood-red world ahead, Chen Chu slightly crouched.

Boom!

The floor collapsed, and he shot hundreds of meters into the sky as a golden light. As he neared the blood river’s projection, black-gold vertical pupils emerged in his eyes, and a powerful gaze exploded.

Hum!

Under the power of the Double Void Pupils, the blood-colored space in front of him suddenly froze.

Boom!

Akunus had believed that only a middle-stage Eighth Heavenly Realm cultivator could break the Blood River Domain, but under the strike of the glowing golden halberd, the space shattered like a mirror. The sky within suddenly collapsed, with rifts spreading hundreds of meters, and from the dark void, a golden figure descended.
